Heh, reliving the past Alan? :-) I still remember that d**n mount.. I did finally get a perminant fix though.. But that was awhile ago.. :-)
Polar-Bus:
My upper pipe mount was snapped when I bought my bike, and 2 years later is still snapped. The pipe is supported in 2 other places, so I don't see the need to keep fixing a over stressed area of muffler support. (just my opinion).
c-152:
I fixed mine about a year ago as I said in the previous post about this subject. Well, I wouldn't say fixed (temporarily repaired) but I wouldn?t worry about riding it if it was broke, just my opinion, unless I ran on a track a lot. I wielded the mount back on, and installed a rubber washer - has work so far but I know it wont last. (I am a bubble gum wielder so I figure at least it will be good practice). I also had to change my lower mount when I went back to stock this year. I used a thin peace of metal so we will see if everything holds. I will keep and eye on it.
hughes:
I fixed mine with that 1/2 square pipe. I cut out the back of the pipe to fit the contour of the frame and then welded it all the way around. It's be on there for over two years now. Your not going to get much stronger than a square tube or pipe. I had the tank off this week I should of got some photo's. Sorry.
